IT IS A GAME

The all encompassing gameMen stand toe to toe to other menNot observing the conditionsNot knowing, neither making any efforts to knowThis game is expensiveIt is ruthless- men get killedThe news get reeledTalks get toughExperts paradedDecent suits and decorated resumesThe speech though is worstIt is a gameSome call it nobleWhilst others see it as murderIn this game, the gamesman plays seriousYet the mannerism are choreographWith touching words-far reachingUnlike many other gamesThe activity here is unrealMade belief scenariosA spectator’s nightmareDire you choose a sideJust like a two sided bladeThis game don’t demand open supportDon’t worry, the game is never overWhere some stop, others continueThat is the policy, a jobAll in all, the tasks are to bend hearts and mindsThey say in pursuit of enduring freedom!Against mad men, wick players, evil advocatesIn destroying themFirst blood gets spilled! Stray drones unsettle here and thereBetter still, it is all a game- master minded by shadowsYou think about it

About Me

I was born in Seira Leone in 1977, in the District of Kono, the Town of Sefadou, the area locally known as Obawese or Tinbelane, by a Gambian father and Mother. I came to the Gambia shortly after the aborted 1981 bloody coup. I resided with my step-father, the late MP A.K Touray in Bakau and London Corner, before resettling to our Constituency of Sandou, URR. I consider myself an activist for progress and wanting to see an end to tyranny and oppression. I am affiliated with the UDP. I write on various topics. I believe strongly in family values and home education for children. I love the history of the Gambia and her different cultures . I now host a Tuesday show on www.kibaaro.com on culture and tradition. I have completed an MA degree in Islamic Banking, Finance and Management in Gloucestershire University and in partnership with the Markfield institute, an expert specialist in Islamic education in Europe. My first academic career is Accountancy which is still a field I love. My day job is administering financial issues at a local government authority, a job I enjoy fully.
